Dakota Supply Group (DSG), Plymouth, MN, launched a year-long marketing campaign, “125 years young,” to celebrate its 125th year in business.
The company first came onto the distribution scene in 1898 as a small plumbing distributor in Fargo, ND. Since that time, DSG has since expanded into seven verticals, serving the industries of electrical, plumbing, heating & air, waterworks, communications, utilities and on-site sewer, water, and well. DSG has grown to over 52 locations in seven states, with plans to open three more locations in 2023, adding an eighth state to its footprint by the end of the year.
“This year marks a historic milestone for all employee owners at DSG,” says Paul Kennedy, president & CEO of DSG, in the press release. “Over DSG’s many years, we’ve seen a lot – from wars, depressions, recessions and global pandemics, as well as rapid technological innovations across every industry we serve. Despite our age, we feel young, vibrant and energized.
“Our success over the last 125 years would not be possible without our amazing team of employee-owners, our loyal customer base, and the partnerships from our vendor community. I am beyond proud of what we have accomplished, and where are going, and looking forward to using the momentum of our history to propel us forward – We’re 125 years young, and I feel we are just getting started.”
